Mississippi rolls forward, HGTV rolls Flip It Forward back, and syphilis crashes on the breakers, as your AggreGAYtor prepares for new Netflix episodes.

The Good

Mississippi signals progress, with six cities confirming LGBTQ identities.

HGTV knows going full Duck Dynasty before the premiere means losing audience.

Oregon may be next to legalize marriage equality, along with pot.

Anti-gay former drag queen, the former Mona Sinclair is ousted for being a GOP hypocrite.

The Bad

Syphilis cases are on the rise among MSM.

Jail can be a convenient tool of oppression, case in point.

LGBTQ workers are often stuck passing in a hostile workplace.

The Fugly

Indiana must recognize gay marriage, but for only one couple, pending appeal.
